Richard Epstein on Michael Sandel

Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein's latest column is up at the Hoover Institution web site. In it, Professor Epstein challenges what he calls the "naïve communitarianism" of Harvard professor Michael Sandel. Professor Sandel's latest book, What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets, is described by Professor Epstein as a "nonstop Jeremiad against modern civilization." Says Professor Epstein, "It is a strange brand of moral philosophy that reserves its greatest indignation for our most fruitful social innovations."
